This time of year I always get really excited about movies. Once that list of Academy Award nominations gets announced I go on a bit of a movie frenzy. I love the awards show and I want to see as many movies as possible beforehand so I can root for my favs. I’ve started watching the ones that are available for streaming at home, but some of those movies are still only available at the theaters. 

I met up with my friend, Connie today for a $5 Tuesday flick. I’ve been so eager to see Green Book and it did not disappoint. I loved this movie. What a story! I’m also a sucka for based on a true story. 

For a Tuesday afternoon the theater was FULL. Not an empty seat…well, the front row was open, but come on…not an empty enjoyable seat. I also think our presence brought the average age in the theater down by at least 30 years! I was pretty shocked and expected to have the theater to ourselves, but who doesn’t love a good $5 movie deal?!

The best part was escaping with a dear friend for a few hours in the middle of the day. I know there was quite a bit of finagling done on both ends to make it work out and that is beyond appreciated.
